- What is whey?
When milk is curdled to make cheese, the curds form the cheese and the remaining liquid is the whey. Whey is one of the most digestible forms of low-fat protein ever discovered.
- Why should I take whey?
Whey is popular with athletes, because it helps build lean muscle mass. It is excellent for vegetarians, who want lean sources of protein, and it is good for all who want the immune-boost that comes from whey’s natural components. Whey has ingredients that have been shown to enhance the immune system, such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and glutamine. Immunoglobulins are also known as antibodies. They also stabilize and protect the digestive tract. Lactoferrin is important in developing immune response cells and it regulates the use of iron in the body. Glutamine is essential during times of stress or illness and for maintaining muscle mass. Glutathione (GSH), our body’s critical antioxidant, is produced from the protein components in True Whey™. Glutathione is our body’s own defense mechanism for both intra- and extra-cellular oxidative stress.
- What differentiates True Whey™ from other brands?
Our low-heat manufacturing process protects many nutrients that are lost in more conventional manufacturing processes. The milk in our product comes from cows fed on pesticide-free, herbicide-free grass pastures, and is hormone-free and GMO-free.
- Why is it so popular with body builders?
Whey has one of the highest concentrations of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) of any natural protein. These amino acids are thought to preserve muscle mass, delay fatigue, and promote recovery both during and after prolonged aerobic exercise.
- How do I take it?
Mix a scoop-full of the powder with other dairy, such as in a smoothie, or any fruit juice or liquid.
